When they do, I create a listing on Craigslist that explains the previous listing is fraudulent and report the thief to the the state attorney general.  

Couple things that come to mind are schedule a regular landscaping company to trim the lawn, make sure utilities are on but shut the water off at the meter just in case there is an interior water break the property wont be damaged, make sure your insurance covers a vacant property and or a vacant property undergoing construction, if its in a bad area you may want to consider an alarm system (i use simply safe because you can install it yourself and use it on other properties as needed) leave some exterior and interior lights on and finally have someone go and check on the property once in a while if its going to be sitting.

There was an alarming number of vacancies earlier in the summer with a lot of people choosing not to renew their leases, but they are able to mostly fill the properties at the reduced prices.I am an agent in Monmouth and Ocean counties and similar to what others have posted we are seeing inventory fly off and bidding wars.

After you talk to the first one write down all of the millions of pieces of information they ask for and put a form / spreadsheet together listing all the details of your properties (ie: address, size, age, brick/frame, alarms, age of roof, etc). other brokers are going to need the same info.

So, we signed a contract for about $10,000 and the next day the husband called me a thief, liar and told me I never told him the details about the scope of the work.

There are two types of transfers that can potentially raise an alarm about the due-on-sale clause: (1) the transfer to an LLC and (2) the transfer to a trust.

Even if nothing huge happens any cracks and or sagging could cause alarm to new owners .

I’ve heard several episodes where they are sponcered by SimpliSafe and I’m wondering if any of you out there in BP land have used them and what kind of reviews you would give them or is there a different alarm company you would recommend?

Nest type thermostats, keyless deadbolts, connected smoke alarms, wireless cameras, bluetooth items, USB ports, etc.

I would tell them to buy their own security cameras and battery powered door alarms, and they can take it with them when they move out.you provide a home that has functional door and window locks.
